Just to add to my message - instead of using the long code taht Shyam provided, for the purpose of demostration, you can also use the following code which I listed on my initial post:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range) Application.CutCopyMode = False End Sub The objective of this exercise is to show how the copy/paste can be disabled through the code when Clipboard pane closed, but Clipboard pane is opened, the code does not work if one pastes the item from the Clipboard pane command.
